A man named James
Yeaekey slipped on the sidewalk near Mosher's corner on Thursday of
last week breaking his left leg below the knee. He was taken to his
home near Eau Claire on Saturday.

Caesar Barth gave
a very enjoyable party at his residence five miles south of the
village on Sunday evening last. This being leap year Caesar says
his chances for "splicing up" are much improved.

An exchange very
truthfully remarks that it is extremely difficult for a newspaper
to build up a town when the town does nothing to build up a
newspaper. Every boast made by a newspaper that business is
booming, when it has but little advertising to speak of brands it
as a prevaricator.
